Jacuzzi Killers

Designer Drugs has been busy in the studio lately making their signature pumpy NYC banger remixes. This Mission Control remix is no different, and that’s a good thing. Mission control is newly signed with Australian label etcetc, which also has PNAU and The Knife on their roster. Designer Drugs is touring as well as producing, so go check them out in your hometown!

So the new computer is up and running…I can now officially return to regular posting.

I’ve wanted to post this track for awhile now.  This is a remix that The Chimney Climbers did of Chicago hip-hop duo The Cool Kids track “Black Mags” not too long ago…and honestly I have no clue why it hasn’t gotten more blog love.  Both The Cool Kids and The Chimney Climbers are heavily influenced by 90’s hip-hop and electro, so its no suprise that these two go so well together.

…and the very different original track:

I’m not really sure where The Chemical Brothers have been over the past few years, but I am glad they are back producing and remixing.  Recently you all heard Oasis remix, and now we have this collab with one of my favorite MCs, Philly’s Spank Rock.  See for yourself:

The Chemical Brothers - Keep My Composure (Featuring Spank Rock)

…and just for good measure, here is one of my favs off the legendary Loops of Fury EP.

Our 1st mix/show is now up for download at TheHype.FM.  Go download it here and make us the most downloaded podcast!

Its never too early to screen for breast cancer!

I don’t know when this is from, but I just found this Revolte remix of Kylie Minogue’s “Boombox“.  I officially like everything Revolte has ever put out…and what is it about Kylie Minogue that lends so well to electro remixes?

…and finally one of the greatest, these guys from Brazil need no introduction on JacuzziKillers.com:

I haven’t had alot of time to post lately, but luckily Jacuzzi Killers will be bringing on a new writer next week.  Right now he is in rehab trying to kick a nasty faberge egg addiction, but he’ll be with us soon.  Until then though, I wanted to post 2 tracks that I’ve really been into since I got my hands on them.  Both are genre crossing remixes that don’t sound much like the original, which in my opinion is part of the reason they are so great. 

First up check out French producer Yuksek’s take on U-God’s track “Ugodzilla“.  Seems like The W is getting into European electro, with the recent Ghostface Scion remix series and The Bloody Beetroots taking on “Stomp“: 

Ugod - Ugodzilla (Yuksek Remix)

…and finally, Database is running a project off of their myspace page, allowing free download of all the tracks from their Ugly Edit compilation.  It features 12 of their own tracks with others from Midnight Martyn, Bo$$ In Drama, Cello Zero, and The Twelves:

TheHypeFM is an amazing concept, and we are really proud to be a part of it.  Basically, it takes the concept of an online radio station and combines it with all of the positives of the music blog community.  There will be regular shows with interviews, remix contests, give aways, and DJ mixes (all for download after they air) by Big Stereo, Discodust, Curb Crawlers, Discobelle, Electrorash, Red Threat, and of course, your own Jacuzzi Killers. 

I think this is going to be great, because TheHypeFM is a fully licenced station, so artists who get their music played on the station will receive royalties, which gives a little bit back to these guys.  Also, we music bloggers can only expose you to so much music in any given day, but this gives you a chance to just leave the player open in the background and listen all day.

From what Jesse, one of the owners, has told me, there will also be a partnership between TheHypeFM and Songkick, that lets you search for, display, and buy available tickets for anyone who’s music is playing on the station right from the main page.  Songkick searches some 2 dozen ticket vendors, large and small, so you can get them for just about any show out there, I’m pretty excited about that myself.

Well finally, check out our 1st show, it airs Monday at 8pm and 11pm NYC time.  We are going to have exclusive interviews, unreleased tracks from some of your favorite artists, and we are even going to host a remix contest.  This 1st week we just put together a straight mix, to keep things simple.  We even included one of our own productions!!!  Please tune in and listen!!!

I just heard some pretty upsetting news.  Probably my favorite label at the moment, Modular, reported a net loss of over 6 million Australian dollars last year.  They report that it is mostly from investing back into their own growth, but that number seems a little high for that to be the case.  Without Modular, electronic-rock and all the beautiful Australian derivatives of it would not have as large of a place in the scene as they do today…so support Modular in anyway you can, go see The Presets on tour, send NYPC your spare change in an envelope, send Cut Copy some Tide so they can continue to look fresh and clean.  Just do something!

Check out this new remix of NYPC’s “The Bomb” by electro bangers Villains:

NYPC - The Bomb (Villains Remix)

…and one of my favorites, The Preset’s “Down Down Down” remixed by Midnight Juggernauts:

The Presets - Down Down Down (Midnight Juggernauts)

I’ve been waiting for this track for awhile, and now that I finally came accross this unlikely meeting between two of my favorite artists at the moment…I can’t say I’m dissapointed in anyway.  This is as much a Danger track as it is the Midnight Juggernauts‘.  Easily the best remix of “Into The Galaxy” out there.  Australia & France unite!
